Our whole
We loved Iceland
Hotels were amazing. We booked our own day tours. Meals were expensive but delicious. We LOVED Iceland. Nordic Visitor crafted an amazing trip for us. Our family of 8 had an experience of lifetime in an absolutely beautiful place.
Beautiful country
We were very pleased with the tour, and the accommodations made particularly for our children. Everyone was pleased with the activities. Norway is a beautiful country, with wonderful people, delicious food, and such cleanliness!
Outstanding
Our guide for the trip, was outstanding! He was clear, informative, and positive. It was easy to see how reliable and responsible he is and how important it was for all of his travelers to have a good time. He went above and beyond to make sure everyone had a good experience. I loved the balance of having an overview tour for each city along with time to explore on our own. That was a great balance. I also appreciated the absence of unexpected pressure or expense to add on additional transportation or side tours that some tour packages market. And I appreciated the absence of pressure to tip tour guides and drivers. In some countries there is high specific pressure to pay certain amounts to those workers. I prefer the staff to be paid well up front and to leave tips optional.
Thanks!
Helga G was delightful to work with and I'm sincerely going to miss her cheerful, informative emails. She has great attention to detail and her love for Iceland is abundantly clear in her communication and work. We stopped at many of the suggestions she made on our map, that were not previously on our radar (trip advisor etc), and were the highlights of our day (secret falls, museum/restaurant in Hali, Efstidalur Farm). She made paying the price for a travel company worth it. Thanks Helga G!
Wonderful
The support that Cicci and her colleagues provided was outstanding. We had a few minor things that needed to be adjusted during our trip and we received immediate and prompt service. All questions were addressed quickly and when changes were required, all our requests were met with a willing attitude. The trip was wonderful and it was nice to know that we had someone to contact should we have encountered any problems.
Perfect itinerary
Sigfús was super helpful. He got back to me in a timely manner and because our flight was delayed 24 hours he adjusted our itinerary perfectly and arranged for everything! He answered all of our questions, booked beautiful hotels and suggested wonderful sights. I could not have asked for a more amazing experience! Thank you for a trip of a lifetime.
Seamless travel plan
We had a very enjoyable time in Iceland. The staff at Nordic Visitor provided us with a seamless travel plan and I particularly liked the "customizing" of the maps highlighting particular favorite spots of interests throughout the country. Thank you very much!
Happy with the entire holiday experience
We were extremely happy with the service from Nordic Visitor. The amount of detail in the travel itinerary was more than excellent. The trip ran smoothly. There were no surprises or problems.
Exceeded our expectations
The service from Nordic Visitor was excellent. Larus was very helpful with choosing a customized itinerary for us. The rental car, hotels, and itinerary were all excellent. Every aspect of the trip exceeded our expectations. Iceland was so beautiful, and such a pleasure to travel in. A self-guided tour with our children was quite easy and enjoyable. Nordic Visitor made everything so easy, especially with airport transfers, rental car pick up, etc. They chose great hotels for us. We used Nordic Visitor on the recommendation of a friend, and I would highly recommend it to others. In fact, I already have recommended it to a few interested friends.
Wonderful to work with
Dagny was wonderful to work with. She was very pleasant and patient with us, as we had a lot of questions. We appreciated all her recommendations of places to stop on our way also.
Great experience
I thought all the hotels were great, especially in the small towns, staff were friendly and meals were good. We had a great experience, my daughter and thoroughly enjoyed the self guided driving tour through rural Norway.
Well organised
It was well organised - all arrangements timed perfectly - good background information in the itinery
Truly amazing
Arnar was my Nordic Representative. very good. Our guide Christine provided an excellent tour for us. I am so glad we chose to go with the guided tour. The history, geography, culture and stories of Iceland told to us by Christine made our trip so rich. The Natural Wonders are truly amazing!
Wonderful
We thought our guide was absolutely wonderful..... he handled everything beautifully and made the trip so much fun for all of us. I loved all of it, and I appreciated the amount of time we spent as a group and also the time to be on our own. The transportation from city to city was excellent, and the ferry ride to Oslo from Copenhagen was fantastic.
Went like clockwork
We had a wonderful trip. All the travel accommodations went like clockwork. Hotels were mostly quite easy to find and were comfortable, albeit somewhat marginally comfortable in a couple of cases. Again, I would like to compliment Sindre Matthiason. Kudos out to him. He was so very helpful and had everything well organized for us, which really helped to alleviate any anxiety we might have had initially. We really loved Norway - Oslo, Bergen and all other stops. We also enjoyed Stockholm but found it to be just another big city - kind of like going to San Francisco, London or Berlin. They all have much in common.
Excellent job in arranging family tour
Christoph did an excellent job in arranging this tour for my family. Very well done and very appreciate the efforts put in to this arrangement. Please express our sincere thanks to Christoph. This survey is a bit late in arrival. But better late than never. After all these months, we still think of the Scotland trip and how well it was planned. We still remember Christoph.
Superbly organized
I have put comments in TripAdvisor but again, Helga was terrific. I could always rely on her to answer my emails the following morning and the additional advice she provided was invaluable. The planning and organization of the trip is indeed Nordic Visitor's strength. From the personal pickup and drop-off at the airport to the personalized itinerary, that WONDERFUL MAP, notes of interest Helga wrote on the map for us, the book, and the accommodation arrangements.....everything was superbly organized for us and we had such a great trip as a result. Helga made us so very comfortable with all the information that we could relax and enjoy Iceland. It is a stunningly beautiful country and we had a terrific time. Thank you Helga!!
Amazing destination
We were very impressed with how smoothly everything went. Nordic Visitor did an excellent job of organising our trip. We just gave them our dates of arrival and departure and everything else was handled for us. This allowed us to focus on sight-seeing rather than worrying about routes or accommodations. You can only see so much in a week though, so I guess we'll have to come back to this amazing destination! Although we have travelled a fair bit in various parts of the world, never have we had a vacation where, each night we sat down and listed off all of the things we'd never seen before-glaciers, geysers, volcanoes-hot springs- each day was filled with marvellous sights.
Enjoyed the small group atmosphere
We loved our entire package with Nordic Visitor and our tour guide was fantastic. We enjoyed the small group atmosphere very much (there were 6 of us). We saw several tour groups of many, many more and would not be interested in a larger group, so the Nordic Visitor tour suited us perfectly.
Useful map
The highlighted map was really useful for planning the tour, and all the small written suggestions were the little bits that made the holiday special.
High standard
Overall, the standard of service provided through Nordic Visitor was of a high standard and we as a group have no complaints or criticisms. We found the flexibility of a self-drive tour to be just what we required and with the time we has (15 days) we were able to see most of the accessible parts of the country that we sought. Clearly, in May, there are considerable limitations on experiencing the highlands area, but we understood that well before the trip. However, we were able to obtain some experience there on some tracks that were partly accessible (e.g. Kjolur) as well as going on a flight from Myvatn. Everyone enjoyed the varied landscape, geology, the climatic diversity (surprisingly, quite a lot of sun), and cultural/historical aspects.
A lot of changeable scenery
All hotels great Flam was peaceful- hotel had great view all trains and boat trips fitted in well and enabled us to relax (rather than drive).
A trusted traveling companion
Hotels were always well located (most important), clean, excellent service and most with excellent views. Sofia was always very responsive and knowledgable. Using Nordic Visitor to arrange for hotels and transportation saved me a lot of time. And having them available in an emergency, made me feel like I had a trusted traveling companion.
Perfect
Nordic made our tour perfect, easy and memorable. It's the best and look forward to use it in future and strongly recommend others too.
Higher standard than we expected
Pretty much everything was of a higher standard than we expected. We enjoyed out trip to Iceland very much and felt we made the right choice booking through Nordic visitor. Having everything organised for us meant we could relax and enjoy the holiday. We liked that you tailored the trip to meet our requirements. We have already been recommending you to friends and would have no hesitation in booking a trip through your company again.
High degree of professionalism
Probably the most important service I received was Cecilia's prompt answers to all my questions. My requests were handled expeditiously. As for the accommodations, they ranged from very good to excellent. Of particular note is the fact that Cecilia had to react quickly to hotel employees' strike at one of the hotels. She quickly found arranged for me to stay at another hotel, which was most impressive (both her ability to improvise and the quality of the hotel). She was also quite helpful in recommending certain places of interest to visit and the advisability of purchasing city passes for transportation and sightseeing.
Totally satisfied
The accommodation booked was of excellent quality and the registration/booking in all went very smoothly. The itinerary information provided was invaluable, clear and concise and all the travel times/arrangements recommended worked perfectly. This is the first time I have used the Nordic Visitor service and was very impressed by the efficient and effective quality of service provided, the prompt response to my queries and was totally satisfied with the entire package.
Amazing trip to remember
We were amazed by the standards of all our hotels. The service all throughout Iceland was great and we felt well looked after by Nordic Visitor staff as well as tour guides by the companies chosen for each of the add-on experiences. It was the vacation of a lifetime and truly made our honeymoon an amazing trip to remember. We`ll be back for sure.
Excellent job
Although prices generally in Norway are high, everything that was pre-booked was of a high standard. Kolbrun did an excellent job for us and did everything possible to ensure that we had a great time. Nothing seemed to be too much of a bother to her and she answered all of our many questions beforehand quickly and with very good advice. At the end of our stay when we had some problem with our flights, she sorted this out quickly and efficiently. I hope that you are paying her enough!
Exceptional company
We received excellent service from start to finish. This is an exceptional company to deal with and I would recommend anyone considering travelling to Iceland to use Nordic Visitor.
Couldn‘t have been happier
We couldn't have been happier with everything provided by Nordic Visitor - from our accomodations, the rental car and the guidance provided. Also, Solveig was exceptional - she always answered all of my questions immediately and was extremely knowledgeable and friendly in her responses.
Absolutely thrilled
Kolbrun and Nordic Visitor are super efficient and effective. So easy to get around with Kolbrun's tips, advice, and maps. Buy the Oslo pass!!!! She picked hotels that included breakfast with stay- free wifi, and free computer use (several with printers) wow, wow, wow!!!!! Included dinner in Flam was unbelievable- fresh and delicious. Norway in A Nutshell - gave us a fantastic scenic overview - stay over in Flam - super quaint town Everything was exact as described and listed. The greatest gift that she had set up for us is the porter service for our excess luggage from Bergen to Oslo. Well worth it! Flam Railway advice from Kolbrun and NSB to stop before the Myrdal station (Vatnahalsen Hotel) for lunch,some coffee and conversation with the wonderful hotel staff instead of sitting in the train depot at Myrdal for over 2 hours really saved the day! Contacted Lisa Marie from Nordic Visitor customer chat, she sent info to Kolbrun, Kolbrun contacted me with an answer first thing in the morning - thrilled that Norway in a Nutshell voucher was so easy to redeem at NSB for travel tickets. We could not believe how seamless it would be, absolutely thrilled!
Great experience
Everything about this tour was great. Everything was well planned out and stress free for us throughout the week. Accommodations were great. Cannot wait to come back!
Amazing adventure!
Map provided (with all stops/routes highlighted) was awesome! Also a great souvenir. Had an amazing adventure. Can't wait to go back to Iceland and do the whole circle drive.
So easy
Nordic Visitor made everything SO EASY! All I had to worry about was showing up on time. Everything was taken care of, and it really gave me peace of mind and allowed me to enjoy my vacation.
Flawless
Everything was flawless. There were no bumps in the road. Information provided and suggestions on what to see were extremely helpful. Just a great job overall
Decided to drop Argentina and go to Iceland
Everything was fine. Our Nordic Visitor travel assistant was Audur. She was extremely helpful, answered all of my questions, was very friendly, very informative, and worked hard to get us a customized trip. Honestly, my wife and I had been planning to go to Argentina, I was planning the trip, but the travel assistant I was using was very unresponsive, unhelpful, and seemed annoyed when I would email questions. I came across a Nordic Visitor ad online and decided to check it out. Because Audur was so wonderfully helpful, I talked with my wife and we decided to drop Argentina and go to Iceland instead. So thank you Audur! We had a great time, and have been recommending Iceland to friends and family ever since.
Quality and variety
We enjoyed both the quality and variety of accommodations in our program. We were particularly happy that we chose guesthouses rather than hotels because it gave us more extended contact with locals on a personal basis.
Everything was perfect!
We had a great experience booking our tour with Nordic Visitor. The web site is very easy to follow. All questions were answered quickly and it was easy to book with clear instructions and vouchers for the trips. Sara our agent did a great job! Everything was perfect, hotels, transportations, her tips for other activities. We really enjoyed our trip!
Well done!!
All the hotels were fantastic. The suggested tours were all appropriate. The timing and deadlines were clearly communicated and the directions easy to follow.
Sirry did a wonderful job of working in some extra days for us at the beginning and the end of our trip. Well done !!
Above and beyond
We have just returned from a fabulous trip to Iceland. The staff at Nordic Visitor is top notch. They helped us to create a wonderful itinerary and set up our accommodations -- which were all terrific -- car rental, detailed map with the route and all the sights clearly highlighted, plus a mobile phone for emergencies. This made the trip very easy.
All of this would be expected of a good company. What made them extra special for me is that I managed to loose the detailed map on the first day of our excursion!!
What a panic! I called the office from the mobile they provided, explained what happened, and they assured me they would be able to get us another map probably at our next stay. This seemed impossible given we were quite a ways from Reykjavik, but we had no other choice. We spent the day touring around, and that evening upon returning to the hotel, the receptionist hands me another map complete with all the highlighted sights etc!!! I could not believe they were able to do this. Shocked, overjoyed, relieved.
So, I can't say enough positive words for the company and especially for Brynja Dögg Heiðudóttir who went above and beyond to help us.
Iceland Trip through Nordic Visitor
I just got back from Nordic Visitor's Express Iceland Tour, which I took with a friend. The trip was fantastic, and Nordic Visitor was terrific. Virtually everything came off exactly as promised. They made no fuss about customizing the tour for our wishes and timing, adding two extra days of accommodations and car rental at a reasonable cost. There were two tiny glitches that they corrected immediately, and they were extremely helpful when we decided at the last minute that we wanted two separate rooms for our last two days in Reykjavik. The tour package had great extra touches like a local cell phone and a map marked with our route, overnight stops, and suggested attractions. It would be hard to be any happier with a tour company. Hats off to Larus and Solveig and the rest of the great people at Nordic Visitor.
Exceptionally helpful
Helena was exceptionally helpful before and during our tour!!!
We will definitely come back
Thank you so much for the great trip with everything working so smoothly! Loved the way the accommodations were chosen giving us the opportunity to experience different housing from modern hotel in Reykjavik to small family business hotel and horse country farm (which by the way was our favourite with the most amazing homemade food :). The tour was well thought so we can enjoy at maximum the beauty and diversity of Iceland. Also we’ve appreciated the highlights and tips and thank you for the GPS coordinates, they were really useful for finding some places. We really enjoy our trip and we will definitely come back and recommend your company to all our friends in Vancouver! Awesome experience!
The accomodations were outstanding!
Arnar Thor was VERY helpful and patient. He helped us a great deal. The accomodations were outstanding! Every hotel was great. In fact, I have written them all up on Trip Advisor, we enjoyed them so much
I do not believe it is possible to do better than Nordic Visitor did for us for this tour. The hotels were outstanding; the selections or recommendations of sites to visit was outstanding as well.
You can't help but have a wonderful time
This was easier to do than I anticipated. Once I got familiar with the rental car and driving conditions, all I had to do was make it to the next hotel and everything was taken care of...The one thing about Iceland I didn't expect was the attitude of Icelanders. They are such a happy and joyful people to be around, you can't help but have a wonderful time...The beauty of Iceland isn't just in the scenery, it is in the people themselves, the food they eat, the music they listen to. This trip far exceeded my expectations. I can't thank you enough for having me as one of your guests.
Hope to plan another trip with Nordic Visitor
In general, my experience with Nordic Visitor and the trip they provided for me was exceptional. Everything was well organised, plenty of information, some of the accommodation in the more remote areas was very basic but that is to be expected given its location. Overall, there are no doubts whether or not I would recommend Nordic Visitor - in fact I'm already looking on the website hoping to plan a trip to some of the other destinations.
Effortless and memorable
Overall I had a really fantastic time! Sara kept me informed, sent everything through in good time, and made sure I had received what I needed.Bergen was the highlight of my trip. Thank you for making my first visit to Norway so effortless and memorable! Thank you.
Best vacation ever
This was the easiest and best travel arrangements I have ever experienced. Our reason for coming to Europe was to see the U2 concert in Stockholm, Sweden and visiting Norway for a week, prior to the concert, was an afterthought. We thought it might be nice to visit Norway since we would be near for the concert. I explained this to our travel consultant, Bjarni Ólafur Eiríksson, and asked him to make something great happen for a quick trip to Norway. What we got instead of a quick tour of a neighboring country was the best vacation I have ever experienced. Bjarni made everything perfect. There was no rushing for trains, boats or busses. Everything was perfectly timed so that we did not feel like we had to hurym but we did not have to wait long periods of time to get to our next destination. The hotels and staff were excellent. We did not expect the level of comfort or higher-end accommodations that were provided. Everything was planned convenience and for that I am grateful to Bjarni and to the people of Norway and Sweden for their gracious hospitality. I will book through Nordic Visitor again, that is for sure.
Time of my life
I had the time of my life in Scandinavia! During my visit, I made connections with my wonderful friends/family in Sävsjö and I plan to revisit them again. Therefore, more adventures await in Scandinavia! I will continue to utilize Nordic Visitor!
Professionalism
We loved the sailing among the icebergs tour in Ilulissat. We felt the airline bookings and hotel bookings were all as explained to us. Also they would have been difficult for us to coordinate from the States. It was such a relief to have every part of our trip proceed as planned with Nordic Visitor. There were no glitches at all, and we appreciate the professionalism. I asked Helga many questions beforehand, and she was always very pleasant and responsive. We would definitely recommend Nordic Visitor and Helga.
The best vacation ever!
I travelled with my children and grandchildren, comprising a party of seven in total. There was remarkable consensus: "The best vacation ever!"
I am extremely impressed
I am extremely impressed with the outstanding quality of the road system in Iceland. The terrain is very severe in many areas but in spite of that the Icelandic Government has put together an extremely good road system throughout all of the country that I traveled. The tunnels in particular were very impressive. On a self-guided driving tour the GPS is completely irreplaceable. For a non-Icelander, the place names are impossible to read or remember. They GPS however makes it very easy to navigate the remote areas of the country.
We were constantly blown away
We were constantly blown away by the helpfulness and service and friendliness of the staff everywhere we went. Found out how helpful it was to PREBOOK our tours (lava cave, lagoon cruise, whale watching etc) because they would have been full if we would have waited and we would not have had the time to go.
Would definitely book with you again!
I was pretty skeptical about booking a tour over the internet, but it worked out really well. I'm very happy with how easy the whole process was, and how it all turned out. The accommodations were great, the "optional activities" were fun and the itinerary was perfect. I would definitely book with you again!
The excursions were perfectly arranged
We thought the trip was planned beautifully and the timing was perfect. The excursions were perfectly arranged and something we'll never forget... Helga always answered any questions I had in a timely and thorough manner. We had originally contacted a few travel services in Iceland and you were the best about getting back to us and providing information. We absolutely LOVED ICELAND and a lot of it had to do with how well this trip was planned for us. The only thing I might do differently, is to have spent two days at the Skaftafell National Park... We felt very comfortable and well taken care of all along the way. We made incredible memories with our nine year old son that we will cherish for a lifetime! Thank you, Nordic Visitor!
I couldn't be more happy
Our trip was wonderful. The travel documents and communication from Nordic Visitor made this a stress-free, easy trip. There were no problems with the bookings, reservations, rental car, or anything else. The itinerary and map were easy to use. Overall, I couldn't be more happy with Nordic Visitor. Thank you.
Fantastic experience
Fantastic experience & we will definitely make a come back! Great service despite a last minute booking by us. :)
Outstanding overall service
Helena resolved a few queries we had about travel arrangements very efficiently. The information given was very comprehensive and useful. The hotels were outstanding in all respects, particularly the Hotel Continental in Oslo. All the food was very good. The level of personal service was excellent by all staff. All of the trips ran very smoothly.
Outstanding overall service. We had a problem with a charge our bank made on our payment of the deposit and your finance department were prepared to make alternative arrangements if needed when we were paying the balance. Excellent customer support.
“10 day fly drive around Iceland”
A very interesting and well planned tour with overnight stops on good accommodaton. The areas marked on the map by the agent indicated all the interesting places to see on our tour, all of which were within very easy reach of the main road. An odeal holiday for anyone with any mobility problems.
I loved everything about the trip
Line was an excellent guide. She was kind and thoughtful. Line was also well organized regarding tickets and getting us where we needed to be. The small group (9 of us) was perfect and made the trip more enjoyable than being in a herd of people. I loved everything about the trip.
Great Tour Company = Great Vacation
From the TripAdvisor reviews we decided to go through Nordic Visitor instead of doing the research & planning that we usually do for a trip. We did the South Iceland at Leisure tour and the planning attention to detail that Erla put together for our trip made for a great experience. Everything exceeded our expectations, including the gentleman that picked us up at the airport. The hotels / guesthouses were spotlessly clean, comfortable and all had a friendly & helpful staff/proprietors. The extra activities; e.g., Glacial Walk, Zodiac boat on Glacier Bay, etc. were scheduled appropriately in relation to travel times & were with very professional companies.
It would have taken us a lot of time & effort to put together a comprehensive trip like this. Thanks again to the Nordic Visitor's staff & especially Erla.
Best Vacation Ever!
Nordic Visitor provided my family with an unbelievable first trip to Iceland! All of the communication with our travel advisor, Helga, beforehand was impeccable and so thorough. Every step of our journey was so well thought out and perfectly timed. They made driving through the South of Iceland so comfortable, especially with a nine year old. Their recommendations of how to time everything was perfectly planned and we really felt that we got to see so much in a relaxed way in just 6 days. I will recommend this company to everyone and hope to go back to Iceland again and possibly Norway with their help!
Iceland Express Tour - the perfect introduction to Iceland
Larus put together the perfect itinerary, including different kinds of hotels (modern, rustic, farm, historic). This was my first trip to Iceland and I got a very broad introduction to this beautiful country. I received a good amount of information from Nordic Visitor in advance of my trip, so I was well prepared. I felt very safe and comfortable with no worries during the adventure. All of the vouchers and activities worked flawlessly. I talked to visitors who used other tour companies and they often had missed connections and invalid vouchers, so I am very grateful that Nordic Visitor is such a high quality company - I shared the contact info for Nordic Visitor and Larus, so my friends will have a better experience on their next tour.
16 amazing days in Iceland
Not only did Nordic Visitor delivered on everything that was needed, all the extra tours that were booked by them exceeded our expectations. Spent 16 days on a self-drive tour of Iceland including west fjords. Every detail was taken care of, the car was excellent, the accommodations that were booked were more than what was needed. They gave us a telephone and had regular contact with us. Assisted us every time we needed any assistance. Will recommend this company and will be more than happy to use again in the future. I highly recommend it and give them A++++++++++.
Tip to travelers: Do everything with lots of time. We planned this trip more than 7 months in advance. Do your homework. Find about weather condition, climate and clothing needs.
Great customer service!!
The only hotel that we were disappointed with was in Bergen but we only had to mention it to our travel advisor Kolbrun and she immediately addressed the concern and issued us a credit. Great customer service!!
We also left a pair of glasses at our hotel in Flam. The hotel staff must have contacted Kolbrun to let her know and she had the glasses returned to us, again great customer service. We have never had hotel staff find and return lost items before and we really felt Kolbrun was watching over us and had our back. Thanks, Kolbrun.
Great service
Great service overall. The itinerary was exactly as described, all buses,trains and hotels were scheduled perfectly. The phone was a great touch and very much appreciated.
Trip of a lifetime!
Cicci, was wonderful from the beginning, she was very patient with us while we made arrangements for our specialized tour. I felt taken care of at every stop. I know how much work it is to make arrangements so I really appreciated all her work. Thank you Cicci for a trip of a lifetime!
Great service
...Great service for a first time visitor to Nordic countries. I myself will have more of an idea how to customize future follow-up visits. Very friendly and accommodating service from Sofia.
Will definitely book with Nordic Visitor again
Sofia was very helpful. Booking with her/ Nordic Visitor has eased my stress level in booking hotels and arranging transportations and transfers. All the hotels were close to the central train stations. I will definitely book with Nordic Visitor again next we visit the Scandinavia.
Trip of a lifetime!
Sofia was very kind and patient about my MANY questions to her via e-mail. She was thorough with her answers, and had me well prepared for this trip of a lifetime!
Professional and helpful
Hafdis was very professional and helpful throughout the process. I am grateful to her and everyone else at Nordic Visitor for putting together this experience for my son and me.
I highly endorse and recommend Nordic Visitor
Nordic Visitor was extremely professional and thorough in preparing us for our 14-day, self guided tour. They were very accommodating and responsive to our pre trip questions. We couldn't have been more pleased with their excellent, expert services! I highly endorse and recommend Nordic Visitor.
We thoroughly enjoyed walking around the city
The tour and accommodations were very good from start to finish. We were met with a very friendly driver to the hotel on the first day and we were checked in early for our hotel without any issues. Although all three of us were very tired, we went around Rekjavik the day we got there and everything was within walking distance. We thoroughly enjoyed walking around the city, felt safe and enjoyed shops. Our first day on the road was also very pleasant, the rental car had ample room and we were out of Rekjavik in 30 minutes driving the Icelandic countryside. The prepared intinerary and locations suggested to visit were also very good, although we took upon ourselves to visit many many places in between to ensure we made the most of our time. The rest of the 6 days we traveled were met with many awe inspiring scenery and none of could believe how gorgeous Iceland really was. On the way back to the Rekjavik, we were met with a friendly hotel staff and helped us get our rental car back to the rental company without any issues. Even the taxi driver was very friendly and conversational.
All were delighted with the experience
Everyone, and I mean everyone, everywhere, were simply delightful. All were helpful, competent and professional.
I was traveling with my wife and four friends. All were delighted with the experience
stress-free, fun-filled vacation with no negative surprises!
The map provided by Nordic Visitor was a fantastic resource! Our route was highlighted in green and each hotel/guesthouse was marked in pink, so we could see at a glance where we were each day and where we needed to be each night. Then, our booked excursions and points of interest along the way were marked in orange, with written details added at the side. This made it easy for use to reach our excursions at the right times and directed us to great places for homemade ice-cream, lobster dinner, and scenic delights. I can't say enough good things about our experience with Nordic Visitor! They thought of everything beforehand--as a result, I had a stress-free, fun-filled vacation with no negative surprises!
Would not change a single thing!
It was the perfect blend of independence, comforts through great accommodations in easy locations, and the help of getting to and from the airport was super. Just enough to take away the hassles and give me time to enjoy the location and adventure. Would not change a single thing! Thanks Solveig!
Non stop destinations of wonder
Our guide Christina was very knowledgable of culture and history. Lots of old sagas. Great driver. And we had non stop destinations of wonder
A fantastic holiday
Overall we had a fantastic holiday, helped a great deal by the good weather! We had planned for a lot of rain, but we just followed the sunshine around the country. Moving on every day or two was quite hard work but because of doing that we saw a lot of the country - which we loved. Everyone we met was so friendly and enthusiastic, keen to talk to us and to tell us about themselves. The fact that everyone spoke perfect English took a lot of the stress out of a foreign holiday and we would both love to be back there right now! The quality of the sunshine and the air was quite exceptional, the long sunny evenings were a bonus and the lack of crowds made such a pleasant change from England. The organisation of the holiday worked well, with trains, boats, planes and hotels all linking up well. In most cases we managed to walk from our hotels to railway stations.
It was a wonderful experience
Customer service was exceptional right from the beginning. All travel details were clearly detailed in materials sent before trip, as well as, received upon arrival. All drivers, hotel employees, and tour guides (kayak tour) were very friendly and helpful. It was a wonderful experience and we would love to book a longer trip around Iceland someday with Nordic Visitor.
It was one of the truly memorable family holidays!
The trip was great and the island beautiful. It was one of the truly memorable family holidays! We loved traveling Highway One on the island's east side!
We cannot wait to visit Iceland again!
The services provided by Sjofn exceeded our expectations in all respects! The organization and travel materials provided were excellent and easy to follow. We would not hesitate to recommend Nordic Visitor! We cannot wait to visit Iceland again!
Will definitely used Nordic Visitor again
We thought that Larus did an excellent job in planning the tour and our hotel stops based on our interests, which were largely to take advantage of seeing the beautiful scenery and to hike.
We've travelled extensively in Europe, North America, South America, Australia and New Zealand. Our trip to Iceland was one of the best organized and most enjoyable. Nordic anticipated almost all of our questions with their extensive information package. And for those that they didn't anticipate, Larus answered them promptly. We so much enjoyed our trip to Iceland that we're looking forward to a return visit in a future summer and will definitely used Nordic Visitor again.
Everything about this tour was perfect
Everything about this tour was perfect. It would not be an overstatement to say it was one of the top travel experiences of my life. Arnar really thought through all of the details, and produced a tour that probably could never be topped. All of the hotels and other travel plans were first rate. I would love to do something like this again.
Thank you! You will hear from me someday in the future for more travel.
Thank you!
We booked a last minute honeymoon trip with Nordic Visitor and found the service outstanding. There was only two weeks from the date of booking to our arrival date. Even though she had very little time to coordinate the trip, Sjofn did a wonderful job planning the trip. She made excellent recommendations and went out of her way to make us feel very welcome and comfortable throughout the process. She helped us re-coordinate one of our activities when one of us was not feeling well and was very responsive whenever we had questions throughout the trip. Furthermore, all the accommodations were lovely and comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed all the recommended activities and the stress-free aspect of the self guided driving tour. We really had no idea what to expect with Iceland but were overwhelmed with the beauty of the country. Whether we were doing an activity or just driving, there was so much beautiful scenery to take in. Overall, we are certainly impressed with the quality of service that we received throughout the process and are planning on making a return visit in the winter months. Thank you!
We were delighted
We were delighted with our accommodations, especially on the DFDS overnight ship from Copenhagen to Oslo. It made such a difference and the buffet was superb.
Made our holiday a pleasure
Sofia really looked after us, the emails were detailed and friendly and she just made our holiday a pleasure. Every night we asked ourselves "What does Sofia have for us tonight?" when booking into the room and every night we were delighted!! Thankyou so much.
Natural Wonders of Iceland
We were very satisfied with our tour (8 days around Iceland). The group was a good size (16). We drove around in a small van/bus. Our tour guide, Alfred, was great and very knowledgeable. All of the restaurants and hotels were acceptable. We got to see all of the major highlights and a few hidden things we wouldn't have found on our own. It was nice to have someone else drive and take care of logistics.
Nordic Visitor in Iceland
We have just returned from a week's self touring holiday of Reykjavik and Southern Iceland, arranged through Nordic Visitor. From the moment I first contacted the company I knew I had chosen wisely. Their agent, Helga, was efficient, courteous, prompt with responses and very patient as we tweaked our trip. Her suggestions gave us a custom-made itinerary which took us to the best that Southern Iceland had to offer. After 2 nights in Reykjavik, we stayed at different hotels every night and they were all great. Granted a few didn't look much from the outside, but inside they were brilliant and we had the best rooms they had to offer. Our mid-way stop was at the Fosshotel Vatnajokull, near Hofn, and the view from the window was of three glaciers - awesome. If you are thinking of a holiday in Iceland then use Nordic Visitor and always ask for Helga - she was brilliant.
Best Trip Ever
We've recently returned from holiday in Iceland. I booked us on the Iceland Full Circle self guided tour through Nordic Visitor. Hilmar was absolutely fantastic to deal with. He was very patient with me as I tried to work through dates and added excursions and always provided quick, informative responses.
The package we received upon arrival was well put together and allowed us to navigate around the country with confidence. Everything had been considered and taken care of. The accommodations were fantastic.
We had a self-created situation when we arrived at the airport. Hilmar rang the hotel later in the day to make certain we were settled in with no more issues. He also called in advance when a glacier tour was cancelled due to a storm.
Iceland can be a little intimidating. Nordic Visitor's preparations and assistance made it even more wonderful than we hoped and imagined it could be. I not only highly recommend this company, I have already referred friends to them and will be using them again when we return to Iceland in the hopefully not too distant future.
Best Service Ever
We have just returned from a 9 day bus trip arranged by Nordic Visitor. As we arrived, there was a potential strike in the offing. We called at the office and they could not have done more for us in helping to rearrange our trip. Never, in all my dealings have we had such wonderful service. Kristen, our driver/guide was pleasant, knowledgeable and indeed, an excellent communicator who was very proud of her country. The accommodation was good and the dinners that were arranged of a very high standard. I have never before recommended a company so highly.
Well done
All of the hotels were well located and clean -having GPS in the car rental was well worth it and made getting into the cities so much easier -being picked up upon arrival at the airport is a great service after having spent so many hours in transit.
All of the hotel check ins went smoothly - the planning of our route to travel was well done.
Overall a great holiday experience
Overall a great holiday experience, we were very pleased that after e-mail discussion with our consultant we changed our preferred vehicle to larger AWD type, in particular when travelling through the ice and snow...We appreciated very much the map with hand written suggestions and all accommodation marked. The written itinerary was an excellent guide. Combined with the GPS supplied meant we did not get lost.
Thank you for a wonderful holiday
We thought the tour was very professionally organised and we had no problems whatsoever and would certainly recommend Nordic Visitor. However personally we like to travel a little slower and would have liked at least one more 2 night stay in a hotel, as we felt some days seemed too long by the time we got to our accommodation. We didn't enjoy the Western Fjords as much as the rest of the country and if would recommend others to spend a similar number of days in Iceland but without visiting the Fjords. The last day we felt was a bit of a rush to get the car back in time as we had an early flight the next day. Thank you for a wonderful holiday.
Made our anniversary something to remember
The service we received at all our locations was excellent and the free upgrades were much appreciated and very unexpected.
Thank you for a wonderful trip it really made our anniversary something to remember
Loved the tour
We absolutely loved the tour of Iceland. It was awesome to have everything booked and set up for us in advance, but doing the self-drive tour gave us a lot of flexibility about what we wanted to do from day to day. It also let us really see the country and experience parts of it that probably aren't normally seen by tourists. Booking through Nordic Visitor made everything easy and let us just truly enjoy the experience.
Even more fantastic than I had imagined
It has been a truly memorable visit and journey and I had always wanted to see Iceland. The trip was even more fantastic than I had imagined. I now have plenty of memories, photos and drawings to feed my work as an artist.
Great trip
Great trip, enjoyed the freedom of not having to worry about tour guides and groups while on the holiday, but having the luxury of someone with local knowledge make all the bookings and design the itinerary.
Fantastic customer service
The annotated map was great, the phone a life-saver. You have fantastic customer service. Erla S. and Erla G. were both fantastic in providing advice and making arrangements.
The tour lived up to all our expectations
We would like to thank Erna for being responsive, informative and very helpful from the time of our first enquiry about the tour, through all our time in Iceland, especially the efficient way she dealt with having to change our itinerary when we were delayed by weather. We were sorry not to be able to meet her to thank her personally because we arrived on a the day you were celebrating the first day of summer and left very early on the day of departure. The tour lived up to all our expectations and the advice provided was excellent.
Awesome multi-day tour of Iceland
I wanted to go to Iceland and was going by myself. Figured I'd book a tour, seemed easiest. Found Nordic Visitor and thought, "looks good." Booked the winter highlights tour. It was awesome. Nordic Visitor did everything. Booked my airport transfers, booked my hotels, provided tour guide, everything. I literally just had to show up. The tour group was nice and small, perfect. The tour guide was super knowledgeable and would provide lots of little tidbits of info. She even added on extra stops b/c we had extra time or she thought would be of interest for us.
Part of the tour was to try and see the Northern Lights. Unfortunately, the weather was not cooperating the days we were on the tour. Well, on the last day, it was finally clear, so the tour guide called the office and got us all booked on a Northern Lights tour for that night. We saw the most amazing Northern Lights! And it was all because the tour guide went the extra mile and got us on the tour.
I can not praise this tour company enough. Highly highly recommend having them plan your tour.
Beyond my expectations!
Thank you so much for being there and helping people to discover those incredible places around the Scandinavia. I've met so many great people and had such a splendid time, that I will never forget. My main purpose was to see the Northen Lights, but I've got so much more and everything was just beyond my expectations! I would like to thank our Nordic Visitor agent Jennie Elofsson for a great assistance, she's been very helpful and super quick giving us all the answers we need. Also I would like to thank our amazing guides, who made our tour so very special and intimate: Emil and Jenny.
Very helpful
Bjarni was very clear and prompt in answering questions. Very helpful.
Perfectly prepared tour
All guesthouses were very nice and friendly. They give us the possibillity to get in contact with islandic people which were very friendly and all spoke very good english.
Perfectly prepared tour with individual extension. The tour and preperation exceeds our expectation. For example the tour package included sun glasses for the solar eclipse which happened during our tour. Thanks for the wonderful experience Iceland. We will come back for sure.
Great service
We had a wonderful time in Iceland. Our trip gave us plenty to do while still leaving us time to relax and explore the city at our own pace. It was so nice to not have to worry about planning every day-- we just showed up where we were supposed to be at the time we were given and everything else was taken care of. All of our tours and excursions were so much fun! We had great service everywhere we went. Iceland is a beautiful country and everyone that we met was so friendly and helpful. People were constantly going out of their way to help us. We loved every minute of our trip and we were so sad to leave. I would also like to thank Gudrun for the fabulous job she did planning our tour. My husband and I are very careful travelers so we were constantly emailing her with questions and requests. She handled them all beautifully and was always prompt to return an answer! We had one small hiccup with our driver during the big storm and she called me to tell me she had already arranged for someone else to drive us. She even helped us plan our wedding which would not have happened without her! She coordinated the florist, the hairstylist and even the pastor. Everybody that she chose did a remarkable job. We could not have gotten married without Gudrun! Thank you for the wonderful experience. I will share our trip with everyone and encourage them to use your company to book their travel. When we travel to the North again we will definitely use Nordic Visitor!
An enjoyable and memorable trip
Fantastic tour would recommend to anyone. Great communication from the time I enquired to arriving at the airport and our guide Trausti was amazing really made it an enjoyable and memorable trip I will never forget.
Very impressed
I was very impressed with the commitment and professionalism of Gudrun and Hinrik - they did everything they could to ensure we had an amazing trip; this was inspite of severe weather conditions. We still did it all! The quality of the tour guide, Hinrik, added an additional magic to the stunning landscape of Iceland. Playful and intriguing story telling, deep historical and geological knowledge and lots of fun. It created a wonderful dynamic for the group and inspired everyone to not just look but to also engage with Iceland. It was a bonus that we also saw the Aurora. Currently, people are talking about a one way ticket to Mars - I 'd say try Iceland first.
Incredably helpful
We truly appreciated the quick change of plans Nordic Visitor provided due to the weather on one of the days in the countryside.
Again, we had a wonderful time and Nordic Visitor proved to be incredibly helpful.
Will definitely return to Iceland
The tour was very well organised. We didn't have any problems with any aspect of the booking of the trip. Contact from Nordic Visitor employees was polite, helpful and responses were sent quickly. We'll definitely return to Iceland and would use Nordic Visitor again.
Excellent speedy service
Really excellent holiday, thank you. We only booked a few days in advance and received excellent speedy service.
Made every experience unforgettable
Genuinely - one of the best trips we have ever undertaken. We received a great welcome in Kiruna, our guides were excellent - and made every experience unforgettable! The Aurora... was glorious!
Great deal, great support
My wife and I tend to be pretty independent when it comes to travel but for our honeymoon (Iceland, December-January 2014-2015) we decided a little help would be a nice change of pace. I'm really glad we wend with Nordic Visitor. Not only was our representative helpful and knowledgeable in the planning, he saved us a considerable amount of money on hotel and rental car rates. Having a phone (included with rental car packages) and a local advocate was especially handy when our car broke down 10 miles from the nearest town and more than an hour from Reykjavik. Overall, we love our trip and really appreciated working with Nordic Visitor.
Responsive and helpful
The whole experience in and around TROMSO was wonderful. In particular, I appreciated that Sara Oskar Kristjansdottir maintained communication before and throughout the tour. She was responsive and helpful. For example, when I advised that I was unable to attend one of the activities as I was unwell, Sara arranged a refund for me.
Great service, great value
Great service, great value. Sigfus was really helpful. I would definitely recommend Nordic Visitor to friends. Thanks so much for a wonderful trip!
Winter in Lapland and the Capitals of Scandinavia
My wife and I wanted to sample two contrasting lifestyles of Scandinavia - the more rustic one of the Arctic circle and the urban quality of the cities. As nothing seemed to fully satisfy my needs I decided to contact Nordic Visitor and asked for advice. It turned out to be a great decision - their impressively broad offer was explained to me in exhaustive detail by a Nordic Visitor Travel Consultant who was also able to make suggestions when I requested for it. My final choice was a combination of two existing tours with certain modifications to suit all my needs. The care of all the details (including upgrades of the transport classes I decided to request for later) was taken by the Nordic Visitor Travel Consultant who did a fantastic job - everything was done promptly and worked impeccably throughout the entire tour. Nordic Visitor is highly recommended if you want to have a stress-free experience in booking your holiday and afterwards focusing on nothing more but on the enjoyment it brings.
Effortless
We used Nordic Visitor to book our Iceland new year trip fairly last minute. Can't fault them - we had a fantastic experience and the whole process was so straightforward and felt effortless. Before travelling we were in regular contact with our agent (Hafdis) who was quick to respond on working days and answered all our questions. We were free to book extra activities as and when we found them (which we did a few times!) rather than booking them all ahead of time. They were easy to contact whilst in Iceland as they gave us a local mobile phone with credit. We got upgraded rooms in half the (fantastic) hotels we stayed in and our car was upgraded too. Thanks for your help - our trip was great!
Allowed us to get the most out of the holiday
Alexandra was really helpful when our flight was delayed and we were messed around by the airline. Even though our flight did not arrive till gone midnight (9 hours late!) we were still collected by the driver while others were left stranded at the airport - very impressive. The maps and books provided were excellent and allowed us to plan our time and get the most out of the holiday. Overall the accommodation was excellent and experience was amazing.
What an amazing country
We had a wonderful holiday in Iceland thanks to Nordic Visitor. What an amazing country. I have eaten Puffin, Horse and Reindeer which I hadn't done in the past. We saw the Northern Lights, geysers, glaciers, and waterfalls. Thank You.
Extraordinary Iceland
We have just completed the Express Iceland Tour offered by Nordic Visitor, extended by two days. After the apprehension of whether Bardarbunga or the remains of hurricane Christobal would end up cancelling our flights into Iceland, the holiday went like a dream. The organisation of every hotel, every excursion and the car hire experience were all perfect. We managed to go to the Blue Lagoon, Glacier boat ride, horseriding with Hestasport and Snorkelling in Silfra. We even had an amazing Northern Lights show at Skagalfjordur. The only thing we did not manage was to fly over the fissure eruption at Holohraun because they started operation on our last day and by then everything was fully booked. Fantastic country. Highly recommended.
Staff are extremely helpful
This was the first time that I planned a complete vacation only on emails! Planned a complete trip with zero phone calls. The ability to break payments across months was really helpful and the staff are extremely helpful and ready to provide every small information that you need! Very happy customer...
Experience was most rewarding
From start to finish we found our Iceland experience was most rewarding. Accommodation, car rental and itinerary set out by Nordic Visitor was most satisfying with room for detours to additional sites not mentioned in the itinerary. As Australians it was a memorable holiday.
Did not miss one thing on the way
The maps have been great - very well prepared with and in combination with the daily itinerary we did not miss one thing on the way. Overall great service and amazing experience in Iceland! Intentionally we did not book the cheapest tour, but we have been surprised by the above standard for accommodation and customer service.
Took out all of the stress of planning
My traveling companions and I were very impressed with the ease of our trip due to the wonderfully organized accommodations put together by Nordic Visitor. We were so happy with every guesthouse we stayed in, as well as the instructions provided for the tours we booked. Thank you so much!
Booking through Nordic Visitor took all of the stress of planning accommodations out of the equation, leaving us to just enjoy all of the amazing elements of Iceland on our own. My two traveling companions and I have all travelled extensively, and booking through Nordic Visitor really made our trip to Iceland stand out in front for us—plus, Iceland is just amazing (hard to screw up a trip to such a fantastic place!).
Very enjoyable, easy trip
We were very happy with the standard of hotels and their restaurants, especially as they were often in fairly remote places. We were particularly impressed with the road map we received from you with the route, points of interest and hotels marked. This made everything very easy. Combined with the information book describing the points of interest and general information, we had a very enjoyable trip.
So professional and welcoming
You are so well organized and thorough. I cannot say enough good things about the map. The accommodations were very nice. Everyone we met was so professional and welcoming. We have already recommended you to several friends.
Went without a hitch
Everything was wonderful and went off without a hitch. No problems. Kolbrun was very helpful with all our requests even the last minute ones. I would deal with her again.
Service was perfect
This tour was excellent! It was great, all planned and just so nice and relaxing!
The and service was perfect!
Special and memorable time for us
Thank you so much, we had a wonderful trip and Nordic Visitor and in particular Cecilia were wonderful. You have made it a special and memorable time for us and we thank you for all your work and attention to detail. You are amazing!!!!
Iceland Full Circle-10 days
My wife and I completed the Iceland Full Circle self drive trip on August 26 arranged by Hilmar and Signy of Nordic Visitor. We were happy with all of our accommodations and very glad that we waited until after our trip began to plan a couple optional excursions such as the zodiac boat ride on a glacial lagoon and the Blue Lagoon on a rainy day the day we departed. The scenery was so spectacular that we hiked more than I expected we would plus since we lucked out on the weather, we wanted to be outside. Bad weather our last two days caused us to explore a textile museum and the Skagafjordur Folk Museum featuring turf buildings. Recommendations: read all materials thoroughly before your trip begins and before each day's drive; consider what you will do if you have a very early arrival and your room will not be ready until 2 pm; be flexible, embrace the adventure and you will want to return like we do. Helpful hint-if you want to climb Mount Namafjall (mud pots, fumaroles, etc.) consider path up near entry to site versus the frontal approach!
Excellent Travel Company
We wanted to tour Iceland on our own, but knew nothing about where to stay, what to see or how long it might take to drive ourselves from place to place. After much research on the internet, we chose Nordic Visitor and could not be happier that we did so. We told Alexandra what we would like to do, how much time we had and what type of accommodations we would prefer. She suggested an itinerary, booked the hotels and made the car reservation. Much in advance of the trip, we received in the mail all of our hotel and transportation vouchers, a detailed itinerary, a map with a suggested driving route and all of our hotels plotted on it, along with suggestions about where to eat and what to do and see along the way. Alexandra was efficient, helpful, responsive and always cheerful. Once in Iceland, we received an Iceland Road Atlas and a phone to use in emergencies. Nothing went wrong on this trip. If it had, I know that Nordic Visitor would have helped us in any way that they could. My expectations are high and they were surpassed.
Sweden, Norway & Denmark
We just returned from an awesome nine day trip with visits to Stockholm, Copenhagen and Oslo. Cecilia from Nordic Visitor coordinated the trip including transporation between the cities and hotels. She even coordinated a last minute change during our trip. Overall, we had a great trip and are very happy with our expereince with Cecilia and Nordic Visitor. Thanks!
Never felt rushed
We were very pleased with the quality and location of our accommodations. There was a good amount of time to make our transportation connections. We never felt rushed. All in all, we were very satisfied with Nordic Visitor.
Fantastic, straightforward family trip
Everyone we met was friendly and helpful…Express Iceland is not for those who want to relax their time away on holiday. It is a jam packed, whistle stop adventure which enables you to see a taster of all the very best that Iceland has to offer. We loved it! There is so much to see in Iceland that a trip can seem a little daunting. The tours that Nordic Visitor offered made it easy to decide what we wanted to see and Larus, our travel consultant, was always happy to answer any questions we had. Our trip was fantastic and Nordic Visitor made it so straightforward. When you travel as a family, it is extremely reassuring to know that all the details have been taken care of.
Surpassed high expectations
We asked Alexandra to try to get us the best rooms possible that were also quiet, if possible. It was obvious that she had done so at every destination. She asked us what we wanted, listened, asked a few good questions and then did her best to find us what we asked for and we were very pleased with the results. The materials provided by Nordic Visitor were fantastic. We used the maps and the brochures and the itinerary and read every suggestion. The map with a suggested driving route to each of our marked hotels was very helpful. We were very, very well prepared for this trip because of the outstanding work done and materials provided by Nordic Visitor.
The trip was planned for us (based on what we wanted to do) and all of the details had been taken care of for us. The route was planned, the hotel reservations were made, we had books and maps sent to us and we were provided with a phone and GPS. Nordic Visitor thought of everything – and made themselves available by phone and by email all during our trip to answer our questions or help us in any way that they could.
Working with Alexandra was just a pleasure. From the very first email I sent of inquiry about the possibility of booking a trip with Nordic Visitor until the email I sent at the end of our trip asking if we could change our shuttle pickup time at the hotel, she was helpful, knowledgeable, responsive and always cheerful. Thanks to Alexandra and Nordic Visitor, this was one of the best planned and organized trips we have ever taken. Nothing went wrong, but I have every confidence that Nordic Visitor would have helped us had there been any problems. I have no recommendations for how Nordic Visitor could improve what it does and that is unusual for me. My expectations are high, and they were surpassed.
Everything was incredible
Our trip to Iceland was unforgettable! Everything from the accommodations, to the rental car, to the travel documents exceeded our expectations! Jelena was fabulous and truly put our minds at ease answering any and all questions. We were blown away by the beauty of Iceland and the incredibly warm people. Everything was incredible, and we can't wait to return! Thank you!
Many options to select from
It was a thoroughly-planned trip from A to Z with many options to select from and add to the trip depending on the location. The booklets given were most helpful and actually more efficient than Google, or just easier to navigate.
Vacation of a lifetime
This was the vacation of a lifetime; Nordic Visitor more than met all of our expectations. Please thank Erla for the terrific job she did in setting up our trip. I have already recommended your service to many of my friends.
Very impressed with the level of service
The hotels were all excellent - nice accommodations and excellent food and service. Everything went very smoothly with the vouchers and reservations. The information packet provided by the tour company was very complete, efficiently put together, and incredibly useful. I was very impressed with the level of service provided by Nordic Visitor. Our trip went very smoothly, and Nordic Visitor did an excellent job of organizing everything for us. I would absolutely use the company again.
Absolutely satisfied
Overall the experience was very good and am absolutely satisfied. Thanks for everything.
Awesome Country to Visit
Nordic Visitor did a great job taking care of us. They took care of the logistics so we could focus on enjoying the trip. They were readily available while we were on the road too - they provided us with a local cell phone which was very useful.
Iceland is a much under rated country to visit. Beautiful scenery and great people!
On the downside it is an expensive country to visit and if you are a North American you might find the driving to be a bit white knuckle - those are narrow lanes!
Everything ran like clockwork
As someone who has been to Iceland many, many time (mainly for work) it is great to see how a local firm can be so much better than booking anything else.
Usually I do self booking for everything, however I was finding great difficulty putting together a trip where all the hotels have availability for the dates we wanted. My wife found Nordic Visitor and we contacted them.
The request was something along the lines of "we want the full circle, however we want to do it in reverse, and we want to specifically at this hotel, etc..". Within 10 days they (Alexandra) had managed to do everything we wanted and the price was very reasonable (Iceland has never been cheap, but it more affordable now than it was 20 years ago when I first started going there).
Everything from the initial pick up at the airport, through to hire car, hotel bookings, literally everything ran smoothly without any problems whatsoever.
They are a professional bunch and I highly recommend them.
First time in Iceland so easy and hassle free
Our first time in Iceland and the staff at Nordic Visitor made the whole experience so easy and hassle free. Cannot wait to see more of Iceland and will be booking with Nordic Visitor again. Alexandra was the best consultant ever. So friendly and professional. Everything was perfect and we were well looked after by everyone.
Planned the trip around our interests
I had done enough research to be dangerous and overwhelmed. Jelena did a great job assimilating my desires and her knowledge of the area and planned the trip around our interests. All suggestions she made were spot on and contributed to the success of the trip. There were a few minor hiccups but nothing that couldn't be worked around. Contact with Nordic while in country was always handled quickly and in a professional manner. It was nice having the peace of mind knowing Nordic had our backs. We loved Iceland and can’t wait to go back!
One of the best "adventures"
Our trip around Iceland was one of the best "adventures" we have ever undertaken and we owe this fantastic experience to Nordic Visitor and specifically our travel agent Hilmar. Iceland proved to be a hidden jewel that we hope to be able to visit again one day!!!
Will stay in memory forever
We had an amazing time in Kirkenes. Although we couldn't stay in the Snow Hotel due to dripping, we stayed in their lovely cabins. The staff made us feel like family and everything was great. The dogs + dog sledding was special, so too the crabbing (will not be able to eat another crab after eating the fresh king crab!) Unfortunately we missed out on the chasing the northern lights, on snowmobile, as the river was too slushy. All in all, it was a very special thing to do, and will stay in our memory forever.
Superb to work with
I found Nordic Visitor superb to work with. Emails were answered in a timely fashion, information was presented in a clear and concise manner and Larus was fantastic to work with.
Scenery was spectacular
Overall, a very positive trip. Although we only saw the northern lights once (and then they were not at their best), we still enjoyed Iceland. The people are friendly, food was good and the scenery was spectacular. We would like to return in the summer to experience Iceland in that season.
Northern Lights tour was wonderful
The Northern Lights tour was wonderful! We really enjoyed the winter activities also. Booking was very easy.
Suggestions were all great for limited time
Jennie, our agent, was fantastic. She sorted everything out in the limited time we had in Kiruna and her suggestions to fit in as much as we did in three days were all great.
Great tour organized by Nordic Visitor!
I have just returned from a wonderful 12-day Aurora Safari by rail and cruise package arranged by Nordic Visitor, below are some of my comments on this tour:
1. The "Norway in a Nutshell" has provided me a good perspective of Norway.
2. The combination of cruise, train, bus, and flight over 10 days gave me a compress yet varied and comprehensive look into Norwegian life style and land scape.
3. The dog sledging day tour was filled with fun and laughter, while the aurora light chasing tour was the most memorable experience.
4. Most importantly, the connections between various parts of the tour made by Nordic Visitor fit seamlessly into the schedule.
5. I truly appreciate the help and guidance provided by the two agents Helena and Kolbrún from Nordic Visitor, before and during the trip.
I highly recommend the services of Nordic Visitor to anyone interested in exploring the Scandinavian region.
A must for something completely different
The Ice Hotel was AMAZING, what a concept. The dogsled from the airport was a fun experience. The Scandic Ferrum for the rest of the stay was fantastic. The staff at both places were exceptional. The snowmobile tour, although eventful, was just a hoot. The most fun we have had in ages. All the meals in all locations were just great and good value. Kiruna is a lovely town and the people are terrific. There aren't enough adjectives to describe it all. Just a load of fun. A must for something completely different. Everything was organised beyond expectation. Just do it!!!
This was the perfect fit
We had a fantastic trip! My husband and I had been pretty busy with work just before this vacation, and we were looking for someone to do the "heavy lifting" of the planning for us (hotels, overall itinerary, etc.) without having to be in a big tour group. This was the perfect fit for us! Everything was clearly laid out, and the flexibility along the way was much appreciated. We're already planning our next trip to see more of the country!
Made the booking experience very easy
Our tour was extremely well organized and Hilmar was always polite, quick with his responses, and made the booking experience very easy. He was able to book tours in advance and even suggested we wait to arrive to book some weather-dependent experiences. He provided valuable information and recommendations and we doubt we would have had as unforgettable an experience without his guidance.
Flawless and relaxing
It was one of the most free and liberating vacations we ever had. It was flawless and relaxing. Thank you, Jelena, for planning it for us and listening to what we wanted to see. Your suggestions were great and more than 2000 pictures are a good testimony to it.
Have not stopped talking about the trip
Larus was excellent right from our first enquiry and always replied promptly to emails. The whole booking and payment process went smoothly and all documentation arrived as advised. When we told our friends and family that we were going to Iceland they said "why, what is there to see". Since we returned we have not stopped talking about our trip and showing photos of this incredibly beautiful country such a long way from Australia. I proudly wear my "Iceland..... been there" T Shirt. It is a great conversation starter.
Awesome!
We booked a 9 day full circle self drive. Having someone book everything for you was a big help. We were met at the airport by a very helpful driver with a welcome pack and mobile phone.The car rental company picked us up the next morning and then off we went.Route 1 was easy to drive around and we saw some amazing scenery on our route. Accomodation was basic with shared bathrooms on the package we chose but they can be pgraded to private.
Definately want to go back and see some more. Were lucky enough to see the northern lights.
Able to focus on the sightseeing experience
I would recommend Nordic Visitor to anyone who wants to travel in Scandinavia. My husband and I were able to focus on the sightseeing experience knowing that all of our accommodations and transportation between cities were taken care of. We received all of the materials we needed and our travel consultant marked our hotels and train stations on maps to assist us in new cities. I can't say anything negative about the experience.
Comfortable and welcoming for a solo traveler
Guide on natural wonders tour was fantastic. She was very knowledgeable and a great driver. I felt safe in her care. This is a wonderful tour for a solo traveler, as I was. The small size of the group made it comfortable and welcoming. No charge for single accommodations is an added plus!
Amazing tour of Iceland
Thank you! My husband and I had an amazing tour of Iceland. Nordic Visitor provided us with itineraries and vouchers that were very helpful and organized. Nordic Visitor responded quickly in providing us a refund when our kayaking tour was cancelled due to weather conditions. Great tour company!!!
Helpful in suggesting and arranging activities
…Overall the planning was great! We loved having different choices of cars and level of accommodation to adjust our costs. You were very helpful in suggesting and arranging activities. We were very happy to have the itinerary, highlights and info all bound together. Each evening we would look it over and get excited about the next day. We added a fourth "uncountable" for Iceland = waterfalls! Thank you for your assistance in exploring Iceland. We hope to return.
Understood all requirements
Larus had a difficult booking as we had people arriving at different times, we needed the 2 car hires to be split 6 ways and a few of us did different options at the end of the car hire. He worked it out perfectly and well understood our sometimes complicated emails. The inclusions of Private Pick Up, mobile phones, GPS and inclusion of 2 drivers per car was a big seller to us. Booking with an Icelandic based company to do Iceland gave us confidence in having someone to easily contact if problems occurred. What an absolute delight it was to deal with Larus, who well understood all our requirements. The day tour to Lake Myvatn - something Magic, was an absolute delight and our guide excellent…Nordic Visitor delivered everything that was promised on their website. The marking of accommodation, route and attractions on the map in highlighter was fantastic and made it easier to plan our days. Thank you.
Booklet was very helpful
I really felt your booklet of Useful information and Iceland Highlights was very helpful. Iceland is a beautiful country, the people are friendly, the geology is unique and the history is very interesting.
Everything was 100% seamless and stress free
I traveled with my sister and we were thrilled with your services. Your planned suggested route and booking of accommodations for us was especially helpful and what we were the most interested in. It left us able to focus on the sites we wanted to see and the things we wanted to experience.
Alexandra was very communicative from the first booking inquiry I sent to the last minute addition of a Glacier Hike. You were also very patient and accommodating when my credit card company declined a charge. We were sad we were unable to meet with Alexandra during our time there, but we just had too much to do!
Everything was 100% seamless and stress free. There were no problems and we had a tremendous time. Thank you for a trip of a lifetime. I have already recommended you to a former colleague interested in a trip to Iceland and I am sure he won't be the last. I hope to get to use you again some day!
Nordic Visitor helped us plan a perfect trip!
We started with the Full Circle tour and customized it. I've never used a tour company before--I do all the trip planning in our family, and even though we were using Nordic Visitor, I did a lot of research and had some specific requests. Larus was fantastic, answering my questions and making good suggestions about routes and places to stay.
Nordic Visitor provides maps plus vouchers for all hotels, services, and tours booked through them. Their road atlas is crammed with historical information. Unfortunately, it goes around the ring road in a clockwise direction, and we were going counter-clockwise--which meant I had to figure out how to read it backwards! Even if you're using Nordic Visitor to do your bookings, it's a good idea to take some responsibility for your trip and get a good guidebook or do some internet research before you go, especially if you want to look for small museums that don't make the "highlights" lists.
Nordic Visitor lends you a mobile phone, preloaded with minutes. Look up the roaming costs to use your own phone (assuming you've got a GSM phone) in Iceland, and you'll see what a good thing this is! We didn't use the phone a lot, but it was nice to know we had it, just in case there was a problem. Nordic Visitor also has a 24/7 phone number you can call. Fortunately, we didn't need it. But again, it was nice to know it was there.
The voucher system works well. Everywhere we used a voucher, it was recognized, no problem.
We stayed in a an interesting variety of hotels (which I've reviewed), and got to see everything that we wanted to without feeling rushed to make the next stop. It really was a perfectly planned trip.
I like that the rental agency (Dollar Thrifty) includes a GPS. I had the map provided by Nordic Visitor, but the GPS was good for giv
Everything was perfect
Would highly recommend these tours to other people....everything was perfect. All information provided was very helpful.
Amazing vacation in Iceland
My friend and I just finished the Ring Road bus tour and were completely delighted with all aspects of the trip. Kudos to Nordic Visitor for booking us into a wide variety of accommodations (particularly the cabins in "horse country") and for the impeccable organization and GREAT driving/guiding by SteinThor. We loved Iceland and feel like Nordic Visitor showed us the very best of the country in a way that maximized relaxation and minimized stress. I definitely would choose this company for my next Scandinavian adventure. Highly recommended!
We will definitely look to using your services again for our future Nordic vacations!
My husband and I thought the tour and the service provided by Nordic Visitor to be excellent. It was very convenient to book our trip with you as we didn't have to worry about coordinating all the accommodations, car rentals, shuttles, and tours on our own. Additionally, everyone from Nordic Visitor who helped us were so friendly, professional, and helpful. We will definitely look to using your services again for our future Nordic vacations!
The perfect trip
I saved myself days and days of research by letting Gudrun take care of everything. Using Nordic Visitor allowed me direct access to a local agent (Gudrun) who knows how to put my trip together. 100% better than trying to just Google search and accommodate everything on my own. The perfect trip.
We have no hesitation in recommending your company
We were delighted to be able to meet Alexandra, our Consultant, at the end of our trip. Despite some challenges provided by the weather we thoroughly enjoyed our circle drive through the extraordinary landscape and geo thermal environment. We have great admiration for the resilience of the people who live and work in the small, remote farming and fishing villages around the country. We have no hesitation in recommending your company to our friends and others who were interested in our travels. Thankyou for ensuring our visit was safe and well organised.
Holiday that we will treasure for the rest of our lives
This was a special holiday we had been planning for over a year to celebrate our Golden Wedding Anniversary and thanks to your careful planning for us it was a holiday that we will treasure for the rest of our lives. Thank you.
A "Golden" Experience !
We wanted to celebrate our Golden Wedding Anniversary by booking an " Iceland Complete " self drive tour of the island and spent many months planning our trip with Nordic Visitor. The young lady at NV was so helpful and friendly and arranged the most wonderful holiday - comfortable hotels or guesthouses in spectacular positions and only a few hours driving each day . Nothing was too much trouble and she made it all so easy . NV were so professional with the maps , detailed itinerary , cell phone and lots of helpful advice. It ranks as one of the best holidays we have ever had ,arranged by quite the best travel company we have ever used . We fell in love with Iceland - we have been lucky to travel all over the world and Iceland and our golden holiday will live in our memories for ever.

Unbelievable trip to Iceland
From the word go Larus at Nordic Visitor helped us plan our holiday perfectly, and enjoy it to the maximum. We wanted a 5-6 day trip taking in some superjeep experiences both from Reykjavik and up in the north around Akureyri as we didn't want large coach groups or anything too touristy. The Superjeep trip to the Eyjafjallajokull Glacier and black sand beaches south of the island was phenomenal, and as the other couple in the jeep had booked to do a glacier hike, the guide asked if we minded combining the two trips which would prolong the day by a couple of hours which we were all thrilled about, and boy was it a great decision! Despite rain the six of us did the glacier hike which was amazing fun! An arctic char lunch followed by bouncing up and down sand dunes on the black sand beaches was excellent.
Up in Akureyri we were booked in to Hotel Kea which was lovely, and this was a good job as we ended up having to stay an extra night due to a snow blizzard which closed Akureyri airport... apparently they had not had snow all winter, but this more than made up for it as I've never seen snow like it! Our day trip to Myvatn (courtesy of Saga tours) was the highlight of our trip and picked perfectly for us by Nordic Visitor... the weather was beautiful - crisp but with sunshine - and our guide Sigi (who was the star of our whole holiday) took our jeep 'skating' on a frozen lake with us still inside it which was hilarious fun, before going off road round lava fields and up the side of an enormous crater amongst other things. Finally, the part of our holiday we had been waiting for: Jarbodin Nature Baths. These geothermal pools were stunning. With a little snow falling, perfect blue sunshine, and snow capped mountains as a view, my friend and I had the most lovely soak in the warm water, almost in splendid isolation. Nothing like the crowds at The Blue Lagoon which we had heard from some people to avoid in favour of Jarbodin. And they we
We had a wonderful time
I was very impressed with the service and everything went smoothly. I loved not having to think about how or when we were getting to another country because all of the details were taken care of by Nordic Visitor. Overall I think you guys did an incredible job! We had a wonderful time exploring on our own.
Beautiful country
We had an absolutely amazing experience. Iceland is such a BEAUTIFUL country - best experienced on your own in a car at your own pace we think! Larus was very helpful at every turn. Overall, a tremendous life-altering experience in one of the most magical places I have ever been.
Fantastic - Well organised
There are not enough superlatives in English to express my experiences, lets go with:
Fantastic - Well organised - phenomenal - excellent value for Money -
An extremely well organised and thus enjoyable holiday; Nordic Visitor (and Alexandra) should be extremely proud of this level of customer service. Last minute changes to the hotel bookings were dealt with extremely efficiently.
Thank you
What a phenomenal trip
We have already recommended Nordic Visitor to all our friends and family! What a phenomenal trip. It would have taken me weeks to organize a trip like this, but instead all I had to do was e-mail Bjorg what we wanted and she came up with a phenomenal honeymoon--all we had to do was show up and enjoy Iceland!
Bjorg was phenomenal--she helped add five days to our tour. I totally trusted her to add the days in the right places and she absolutely did--it was an unforgettable honeymoon, largely because of her knowledge of Iceland. Our rental car, our hotels, and all of the materials provided were excellent.
Fantastic Company - We loved our trip
I work in the travel industry and usually plan all my vacations myself via online research and experience. For my recent honeymoon my wife and I wanted to visit the Scandinavian countries and chose a tour on the Nordic Visitor website and then worked with Cecilia to customize it to our needs. While I tried to plan this trip myself, once I started working with Nordic Visitor I just gave up and let them handle everything as they were so good at it. They also got better prices that I could manage on my own so I got a perfectly organized trip and then it cost me less that I expected!
We flew into Stockholm and they had a driver meet us at the airport and take us to our hotel (we could have taken the train but preferred with all our bags to have a car). Our driver was great, even after she dropped us off she came into the hotel until we were checked in and made sure we had our welcome packet from Nordic Visitor.
For our trip we upgraded to stay in nicer hotels (well worth the money). Every hotel they got us was great, right in the city center so we could walk everywhere and they all included wifi and breakfast which at all 3 hotels was a 5-star buffet.
From Stockholm we took a train to Copenhagen, Denmark, from there an overnight cruise to Oslo, Norway (upgraded on the ship and again, it was well worth it, great cabin, free wifi, free drinks and snacks in the VIP lounge). While in Oslo we stayed at the grand Hotel, which is the most renowned hotel in the city.
From Oslo we took a train back to Stockholm (we had Nordic upgrade us on all trains to 1st class. A minimal fee but again well worth it).
Communication was great, every time I had a questions Cecilia or someone from their team answered straight away. I highly recommend Nordic Visitor to anyone who is looking to take a vacation in Scandinavia. The
The perfect way to discover one of the last unspoiled countries in Europe!
For several years now Iceland has been on the top of our travelling plans. We set ourselves quite an ambitious task, also considering that we were travelling with our 4 year old son.
We decided to do the full circle tour around the island in just over 2 weeks and I have to say we were not at all disappointed.
Not only did the island exceed our expectations, but also the quality of the organisation was excellent. The choice of hotels was carefully made by our travel agent to ensure our son would have plenty to do, while not compromising on the highlights. All the activities were also well planned and the information provided by our travel agent was accurate, detailed and useful.
The agency was also very quick in action when required. Mid way through our stay we decided to prolong our trip and with the help of Nordic Visitor it was possible to arrange it, despite all the full booked hotels in the high season.
All in all, a great country to explore and great to have Nordic Visitor facilitating the process!
Well organised and enjoyed by the whole family
It was a great holiday, really enjoed by the whole family. Very well organised on the whole. All the guides were extremely friendly and helpful making all the the tours interesting. I think the highlight was the day in the super jeep tour. Thank you very much.
Nordic Visitor‘s agents were very friendly and professional
The cell phone given to us was very helpfull, especiay because we did had problem with our car and it was very convenient to handle it with the phone we had. Material we got - was very helpfull. Nordic Visitor‘s agents were very friendly and professional.
Our self guided tour was an amazing vacation!
We did a custom self guided tour "South Iceland at Leisure" (2 days in each location) through Nordic Visitor and had the time of our life. Alexandra customized our tour after we told her our dates, price, wants. The vacation was incredibly smooth and well organized. Reykjavik was fun but we were excited to take off and see the rest of the country. The landscape was incredibly varied and the natural wonders (waterfalls, lava tubes, fjords, black beaches, glaciers!) gave us an awesome sense of Earth's dynamic power! We are very active vacationers! We whale/puffin watched in Reykjavik, snorkeled & hiked at Thingvellir, climbed a glacier and hiked in Skaftafell, explored waterfalls in Selfalandsfoss/Gullfoss, enjoyed the quite countryside near Helka, had lobster in Hofn, and more! Our favorite hotel was the Volcano Hotel near Vik. The only wrinkle we had the entire time was the Hotelfoss Skaftafell. They have very few double bed rooms and we were there over a holiday weekend and so were initially put in a very small twin bed room. The second night they moved us to a larger room with a view of the mountains/glacier. The Skaftafell area is GORGEOUS if you are looking for amazing nature, just expect the hotel (there is only one!) to be a bit more rustic because of the extremely rural area. It's worth the stay though, Svinasfelljokull glacier climbing was definitely one of the most fun things we did!
Everything was well organized and complete
Everything was well organized and complete. We particularly liked having a cell phone for emergencies etc. the accommodations were great! We loved that the route and accommodations were arranged for us. This took a lot of stress out of the trip. We loved Iceland and will consider returning as well as using Nordic visitor for future travel to other destinations.
Nordic Visitor made everything so easy
Nordic Visitor was one of the best travel decisions I've ever made. They made everything so easy, while giving us the freedom of being able to 'adventure' on our own. The hotels & guesthouses were fabulous and comfortable. Our itinerary and maps were comprehensive, with many personal touches from Thordis, our travel agent. I hope to book another trip with Nordic Visitor again soon!
Had no worries the whole time while on vacation
Highly recommend going through Nordic Visitor for any future travels. Had no worries the whole time while on vacation. We all felt very relaxed.
Everything planned was wonderful
Hi Irja,
We just returned from our trip and we wanted to tell you thank you! The trip was fantastic. Everything you planned was wonderful. We loved the tours in Kiruna, especially the dog sledding. The ice hotel was amazing and we loved the room you picked for us. The hotels you picked were very nice and we never would have found them on our own. We liked the Hurtigruten and were so happy when we got to see the Northern lights on the deck on the second night. We even enjoyed the bus and train rides because the scenery was so beautiful! The guides in Kiruna were especially nice and helped us locate a piece of luggage we lost while we were on a tour so we could make our train on time afterward. Thanks so much!
Hotels were all excellent
The information package was so good that a meeting with my travel agent was not required. The map was so detailed we rarely needed anything else. All sites were thoughtfully laid out and were excellent. The package could not have been better. Hotels were all excellent and meals they provided were well above expectations.
The most enjoyable holiday we have been on
The most enjoyable holiday we have been on. The Icelandic people always made us very welcome and had high standards of service. Everything ran according to plan; very impressive.
We plan to return and would love to work with NV again
We were thrilled and have already passed along your website to friends! Thank you so much for planning such a spectacular holiday for us... We plan to return and would love to work with NV again. We've been all around the world and agree that Iceland is at the top of our favorites!
The people at Nordic Visitor in Iceland are terrific.
Hi Erla and Bjorg, I just wanted to drop you a quick note to let you know what a wonder time we had because you did such a good job setting up our trip. You have a beautiful country and wonderful Icelanders. Everyone was gracious, warm and welcoming. We really enjoyed the snorkeling and the boat ride. We especially enjoyed stumbling onto the festivals. While in Norourland Eystra, stayed Daeli, we saw a Icelandic singer with a wonderful voice, Egill Olafsson in some ancient ruins at night that took our breath away. And while in Grundafjordur we saw a parade of four colors with music and fun afterwards until 11:30 pm. It was cold to us but we stuck it out. Myvatn Natural Baths were fantastic. We did not want to get out...The people at Nordic Visitor in Iceland are terrific. The trip was well planned with good Accommodations and excellent sightseeing adventures... I would highly recommend Nordic Visitor. Also, Erla and Bjorg. Erla made all the itinerary and Bjorg greeted us at the Nordic Visitor office. Bjorg spent an hour with us happily and professionally going over everything.
We appreciated everything you did for us
Dear Maria.
Uei and I returned to the U.S. yesterday from Iceland. I just wanted to tell you how much we enjoyed our trip and appreciate everything you did for us. Especially re-booking our hotels due to the volcanic eruption. Iceland is a beautiful country and we hope to return in the future. Thank you again!
We enjoyed every second of our holiday
The best organised tour we´ve ever been on. Lots of options with complete flexibility. Communication with Erla (the travel consultant) has been fantastic. We enjoyed every second of our holiday. Everything was fantastic!
The service was above and beyond our expectations.
So much more than I expected!
Just wanted to let you know how much I appreciated your help & handling of my Stockholm city break last month - everything was just perfect, in fact, so much more than I expected! I loved the Adlon Hotell (could just live there - charming - and so close by walking to everything) but my favorite portion of the trip was the boat trip to Birka Island - just a lovely late summer day out on the water & the island itself so beautiful and quiet, the Viking burials and the walking tour, etc., all just fascinating. So, thanks again for your assistance with my trip; I have been recommending Nordic Visitor to all!
Thank you for excellent service
dear nordicvisitor, dear sola!
i almost cannot believe that i did not make it to send you a long e-mail with our warmest thanks for the arrangement of another unforgettable trip through your wonderful country!!
after experiencing the tour "iceland complete" in 2009 with my travel-compagnon wolf, this year i wanted to show this amazing island to my brother who lives in sweden.
i really did not mind to book "the same tour" once again, it had been beautiful enough. imagine how surprised i was to find out that - ofcourse - you sent me to see the "normal topics" of this tour like thingvellir, gullfoss (and a number of other "fosses" ... with the exception of SELFOSS that we visited on own initiative and it turned out to be a town!!).... but all together you had chosen an absolutely new route, with new highlights /such as a night right under the eyjafjallajökull/ i could show my brother all the wonderful things that i had seen the year before, and see a lot of new things for myself. last year i have had the impression that this trip could not be topped ... it could ... or at least: it was not less beautiful but different.
in case i should find a "driver nr.3" i would not hesitate to book a tour with the same name once again!!!
so let me once more thank you so much for the brilliant job you have done, really adapting the journey to the needs and taste of your customers! everything that was under your control went absolutely perfect! *)
when i talk to people here in vienna, i always carry with me a card with your e-mail address ... as wolf said last year: it relly is "parad-is-land".
and when i talk to my brother in sweden, every conversation end with the sentence: "my god - iceland was sooo beautiful!!"
thanks once again,
Everything was quiet perfect!
First of all, we just loved our stay on Iceland. Everything was quiet perfect, the receptions on the hotels, the bedrooms, and the places you recommended to see.
About the "Tour Evaluation", we can say that the rate of service provided by Nordic Visitor was excellent, and the documents you send us by the chauffer and the information/meeting received before the tour were good. As I said before the standard of accommodation was excellent as the rental car. The standards of the meals were good. The itinerary was excellent (we loved Heimaey, especially the hotel).
Well, we were a bit surprised (positively) because we didn't have any references at all about your services (we knew about your travel agency by google), and we can say that if we return to a nordic country maybe it will be using the services of Nordic Visitor. The only thing we are disappointed is to never knew the person that make this perfect travel organization... But still thank you for all.
